Here's Where It Begins

This may be the first time some of you are hearing this, or some of you may be already privy to this knowledge, but I have made the decision to have Gastric Bypass surgery.

For some of you this may be a shock and you may not approve, for others you may support my decision, the rest of you must be here because you are thinking about having or have had the same procedure done.  For the supporters, you know who you are and I can't thank you all enough for being here for me, for understanding why this choice is right for me and for your continued support on this journey.  For the disapproving, I have to say a few things:

It's my body and my choice.
I know it's not a "quick fix", or an "easy way out" because I will be working my ass off (literally).
The procedure has advanced tremendously over the past 10 years and is a lot less risky and more effective than it used to be.

Lastly, for the ones who are thinking about the surgery or have had the surgery, let me say that this blog is all about my journey and I hope that sharing the good, bad, and ugly with you will help serve as a support for you, and help answer any questions you may have about this choice.  I appreciate when people can share their experiences in an honest way to help others and I hope to do the same.

I plan on sharing everything with you guys as I go along, and I mean everything.  Everything from my emotions (which I know there will be a lot of) to what I had to eat on that particular day to what kind of exercise I am doing to get fit. This blog will basically serve as my diary throughout my journey to better health.  I hope it serves as a positive outlet for myself and as an insight for others into the process of Gastric Bypass, before and after the procedure. 

So, I hope that you all keep reading this blog and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.  I happy to help and share what I know with all of you!  

Love,
Kellie
